the growth of the industry also symbolizes the growth of the city. archaeologists believe population size along with density has a critical effect on the economy of a city. once you get 90,000 people in one place, or 60,000 people in one place, then it has a self-generating kind of impact on its structure. all those people living here means that it's going to stimulate economic specialization. economic specialization itself then is going to change the character of the city. keach: was increased specialization actually changing life in teotihuacan ? warren barbour began to think the tiny faces would yield an answer. barbour: during my dissertation research, i occasionally would run across figurines that had fingerprints, and they sort of added a humanity to my work, and i started looking for them, and they sort of brought me closer to the manufacturer of the print. i started wondering who he was, and i figured i would never be able to find that. and i started wondering whether or not i could find something else out about them. keach: barbour's curiosi

not just of the mayor and state officials, but also the labor unions of the city who led the city money at the time when no one else would. there is often an attempt to rewrite history about the financial crisis. ed koch was an amazing figure. he was a onetime liberal, anti- war as a congressman who in his later years became increasingly a conservative on affirmative action, and really developed during his terms of office a very hostile relationship with the african-american and latino community. i will never forget in 1989 when he was attempting for his fourth term and he went to the funeral of a black teenager in brooklyn who had been killed by a mob of whites in bensonhurst. there is such anger in the black community at the time that ed koch was chased out by the crowd and forced to sit in his limousine. he was unsuccessful to have a fourth term. but there was also a lot of good that happened during his time of mayor. he launched a huge low-income housing program, feeling it was the responsibility of the government to assure there was affordable housing for low- income yorkers. he al
